what.
This interesting optical illusion personality test will reveal your communication skills and deepest hidden personality traits. What do you see in this image first - male legs or female legs?
Illusion Personality Test: Optical illusions are fascinating pieces of visual information that play tricks on our minds, revealing much more than meets the eye. Interestingly, these illusions can also act as windows into our personalities, offering insights into how we perceive the world and ourselves.
One such optical illusion created by the late Japanese artist Shigeo Fukuda in 1975 involves an image that may appear to show either male or female legs at first glance. The interpretation of this image can uncover aspects of our communication skills and hidden personality traits.
Male Legs
If you first see male legs in the illusion, you tend to have a straightforward and assertive communication style. You are often direct in your interactions, valuing clarity and efficiency over ambiguity. You likely exhibit strong leadership qualities, decisiveness, and a pragmatic approach to problem-solving.
Your personality traits include confidence, independence, and a tendency to be goal-oriented. You prefer engaging in clear, concise dialogues and are not afraid to voice your opinions, making you an effective communicator in both personal and professional settings.
You are well-suited for leadership roles, such as CEO, manager, or entrepreneur. Careers in law, engineering, and finance may also align with your direct communication style and decision-making skills. Your assertiveness and clarity in conveying ideas make you an excellent candidate for positions in project management and consultancy.
Female Legs
If you saw female legs in the illusion, you typically possess a more empathetic and nuanced communication style. You are sensitive to the emotions and perspectives of others, which makes you an excellent listener and mediator. Your approach to interaction is characterized by patience, understanding, and a preference for harmony.
Your personality traits include creativity, open-mindedness, and a strong intuition. You value emotional connections and are adept at reading between the lines, which enables you to navigate complex social dynamics and foster deep, meaningful relationships.
Your empathetic and nuanced communication style thrives in roles such as a counsellor, social worker, or HR specialist. Creative fields like graphic design, writing, or marketing can benefit from your intuition and open-mindedness. Your ability to understand and connect with others makes you ideal for customer service and public relations.

प्रेम प्रभु का बरस रहा है
पी ले अमृत प्यासे
सातो तीरथ तेरे अंदर
बहार किसे तलाशे
कण कण में हरि क्षण क्षण में हरि
मुस्कुराओ में आणुवन
में हरि मन की आंखे तूने खोली
तो ही दर्शन पाएगा
पता नहीं किस रूप में आकर
नारायण मिल जाएगा
पता नहीं किस रूप में आकर
नारायण मिल जाएगा
नियति भेद नहीं करती
जो लेती है वो देती है
जो बोयेगा वो काटेगा
ये जग करमो की खेती है
नियति भेद नहीं करती
जो लेती है वो देती है
जो बोयेगा वो काटेगा
ये जग कर्मो की खेती है
यदी कर्म तेरे पावन है सभी
डूबेगी नहीं तेरी नाव कभी
तेरी बाह पकड़ने को
वो भेस बदल के आएगा
पता नहीं किस रूप में आकार
नारायण मिल जाएगा
पता नहीं किस रूप में आकार
नारायण मिल जाएगा
नेकी व्यर्थ नहीं जाती
हारी लेखा जोखा रखते हैं
ओरो को फुल दिए जिसने
उसके भी हाथ महकते हैं
नेकी व्यथ नहीं जाती
हारी लेखा जोखा रखते हैं
ओरो को फुल दिए जिसने
उसके भी हाथ महेकते हैं
कोई गहरी मील तो बाती बन
तू भी तो किसी का साथी बन
मन को मानसरोवर कर ले
तो ही मोती पाएगा
पता नहीं किस रूप में आकार
नारायण मिल जाएगा
पता नहीं किस रूप में आकार
नारायण मिल जाएगा
कान लगाके बातें सुन ले
सूखे हुए दरख्तों की
लेता है भगवान परीक्षा
सबसे प्यारे भक्तों की
एक प्रश्न है गहरा जिसकी
हारी को था लगानी है
तेरी श्रद्धा सोना है
या बस सोने का पानी है
जो फूल धरे हर डाली पर
विश्वास तो रख उस माली पर
तेरे भाग्य माई पत्थर है तो
पत्थर ही खिल जाएगा
पता नहीं किस रूप में आकर
नारायण मिल जाएगा
पता नहीं किस रूप मैं आकार
नारायण मिल जाएगा
पता नहीं किस रूप में आकार
नारायण मिल जाएगा

[Come running] just like when you leapt across the ocean, entered and then emerged from the expanded mouth of Surasa [who tried to obstruct your path], and on landing in Lanka sent the demoness Lankini to the heavenly abode by kicking her to death [when she tried to prevent you from entering the city].
jāya vibhīshaṇa ko sukha dīnhā
sītā nirakhi parama pada līnhā
bāga ujāri sindhu mahaṅ borā
ati ātura yamakātura torā
In Lanka you gave pleasure to Vibhishan [by meeting him] and attained the supreme position [of being loved by Sri Ram] due to Sita’s merciful benediction. Then you laid waste the Ashoka grove and dumped the trees in the ocean, symbolically breaking the knife of Yama, the God of Death.

lūma lapéti laṅka ko jārā
lāha samāna laṅka jari gaī

vajra gadā hanu vilamba na lāvo
O Lord! Relieve your servant by hitting the enemies with your mace as if it were a thunderbolt. Saying the thundering sound of OM, challenge the enemies and crush them with your mace.

O Hanuman, Lord of the Monkeys, I invoke you with the Tantric mantra Oṁ hrīm hrīm hrīm and Oṁ huñ huñ huñ. Strike the enemy in the chest and head. I swear by the name of Hari that all that I say is the truth. O messenger of Sri Ram, rush to attack the enemy at once.

yahi avasara aba kéhi gohrāvaūñ
Relying on your strength, I have no fear anywhere – whether in the forest, garden, mountains, on the road, or in the house. I fall at your feet and entreat you with folded hands [to help me]. For whom else shall I call at this hour?

shaṅkara suvana bīra hanumantā
badana karāla kāla kula ghālaka
rāma sahāya sadā pratipālaka
Hail Hanuman! All-powerful son of Anjani and brave son of Shiva. You have a fierce and terrifying body and are the slayer of even the God of Death’s minions. You are always by the side of Sri Ram and are the benefactor of all.
bhūta, preta, pisācha, nisāchara
agni baitāla kāla māri mara
inhéṅ māru tohi shapatha rāma ki
rākhu nātha maryāda nāma ki
Slay all evil spirits: ghosts, spirits, hobgoblins, demons, fire, vampires, calamities, and epidemics. Kill all of them in the name of Lord Sri Ram thereby maintaining the sanctity and truth of the holy name.

jaya jaya jaya dhuni hota akāshā
sumirata hota dusaha dukha nāshā
You are the servant of Sri Ram and Mother Sita. I implore you in their names – make no delay. The sky is reverberating with the sound of your glories, the mere remembrance of which dispels all sorrows.

pāñya parauń kara jori manā-ī
I have come to take refuge at your feet. I plead with you; who else shall I call for help in this time of urgent need? Get up, get up, come along! I urge you with folded hands to swing into action.
oṁ chãṁ chãṁ chãṁ chãṁ chapala chalantā

om sam sam sahami parāné khaladal
I implore you O nimble-footed Hanuman with the call of Oṁ chãṁ chãṁ chãṁ chãṁ and Oṁ hanu hanu hanu hanu. Strike swiftly like lightning! O Hanuman, you are swift. Whenever the monkeys roar, the crowd of evil-doers flee in terror.
apané jana ko turata ubāro
sumirata hoya ānanda hamāro
yahi bajarañga bāṇa jéhi māré
tāhi kaho phir kauna ubāré
Save this devotee of yours immediately. I get immense pleasure remembering you. Who can save one who is attacked with the arrow of Bajarang Baan (literally meaning an arrow as strong as a thunderbolt)

Those who chant Hanuman’s holy name with faith, devotion, and love and always remember him in their hearts are sure to have all their desires fulfilled by Hanuman.

True
A grantha should set forth at the beginning what its main focus is. This is called vishaya. How is the grantha going to benefit those who read it has also to be told. This is prayojana. Who is the adhikari, or the one qualified to expound on the text has also to be mentioned. Sambandha, which is the connection between vishaya, prayojana and adhikari, must also be specified.
Srimad Bhagavatam begins with three mangala slokas, said Valayapet Ramachariar in a discourse. Here the vishaya – that is the main theme of the work – is given as dharma. Vyasa was the author of the work, and it came to us through his son Suka. Vyasa tells us about dharma in this work. There are two kinds of dharma – siddha dharma and sadhya dharma. Siddha dharma is the Supreme One, Lord Narayana. Kathopanishad says that one may be a scholar, or a devotee, but it is Divine will that determines what we should receive. To attain moksha He is the means. Sadhya dharma refers to the means we use to reach Him, like bhakti yoga or Saranagati. Srimad Bhagavatam gives us more peace of mind than the study of Vedanta. It talks about the dharma of virtuous people, whose hearts are pure (nirmatsaraanaam). They are free from pride. Bhagavatam speaks nothing but the truth and adheres to facts (vaasthavam).
The Lord is not just the goal, but the means to attain that goal, and Srimad Bhagavatam shows us this.
